- Title
Discrete versus average integration in shear assessment of spiral links.
- Authors
Jaafar, Kamal
- Abstract
Common transverse reinforcement of reinforced concrete members with circular cross section consists of round ties or spirals. Its purpose in members that are not subjected to significant shear loading is to provide proper confinement for concrete, and eliminate buckling of the longitudinal reinforcement bars. If spirals are to be used as both a shear resister and confining enabler for reinforced concrete beams, then under combined action of moment and shear, spirals will be required to provide or contribute to proper shear resistance. Hence a proper assessment for spiral shear contribution is required.
